We will see the best 11 playing all 60 min. No lead is comfortable in BigXII play either, as we learned at OSU in the final game last year.

I agree with your thoughts too. Especially number 3. The DEs or OLB, whoever has the assignment to contain the outside, needs to keep pressure towards the middle. Their assignment is to contain the outside to avoid the ball from getting to the sideline. Trust your assignment and let the other 6 Defensive players in the box worry about their job to shed blocks and finish the job.
