Let's hope it doesn't take another year and a half to see it again.
We will see the same offense for the rest of the year.
It should be kept in mind, though, that NW had no real idea what was coming.
So, we will probably face defenses that are much more prepared for our packages.
Still, we did not have or did not play Stevens, Lemon, Adonis or GMIII and saw very little of AB.
So who knows, there may be more to the offense than the NW game revealed.
I think you are over estimating the "NW had no real idea what was coming" factor. Fitzgerald's pre game commentary was consistently aimed at expecting the unexpected from SU. He knew about the closed practices, he knew about the emphasis on big plays and up tempo, he mentioned no huddle, he knew about Nassib's passing records.
Add to that the fact that 8 programs in the B1G ran versions of the spread/no huddle offense last year, with Iowa and PSU expected to run versions this year.
Even if NW was caught completely asleep at the wheel, they certainly know how to, practiced for, and were prepared to adapt to, no huddle, up tempo offense.

Maybe I overstated it.
But the offense certainly took me by surprise and I follow this stuff as much as anybody.
I was under the impression that we were going to be running the K-State offense. What we saw was something different.
I have to believe that NW was taken by surprise - at the very least by the pace of play.
