(AP) -- Michigan is expected to get a tuneup against Massachusetts.

The 19th-ranked Wolverines need it.

After barely beating Air Force and getting routed by Alabama, they are 45-point favorites against the Minutemen (0-2) Saturday at the Big House.

UMass, in its first season at the highest level of college football, has been outscored 82-6 against Connecticut and Indiana.

Michigan plans to have a spirited week of practice because there's a lot of work to do and many jobs are on the line.

Other than at quarterback.

Denard Robinson scored four touchdowns and had 218 yards rushing and 208 yards passing, becoming the first player to run and throw for 200-plus yards three times in major college football history, in the 31-25 win over the Falcons.
