I never used the word neutralize; I said it will equalize MU's offensive advantage over KU. As good as MU is on offense they will not be able to drive 70 yards every possesion to score against KU. KU's defense is too strong. That does not mean MU won't drive 50 yards a kick a field goal some of those possessions. But KU has allowed only 133 first downs all year, and I believe they lead the conference in forcing 3 and outs. They also lead the conference in preventing 3rd down conversions. They only allow a 29% success rate on 3rd down; although MU is the best at converting 3rd downs at 57%, this will be a key to the game.
