NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The last time the Tennessee Titans beat the Chargers in San Diego the franchise was located in another city and with a different nickname. During the stretch, the Titans have played home games in three different cities and are on their fifth coach.Yes, its been a very long time.The skid itself is just six games but dates back to Sept. 30, 1990, when Jack Pardee and the then-Houston Oilers got a victory. The Titans finally ended a nine-game skid overall to the Chargers the last time these teams met in 2013 , and now they head back to California on Sunday looking to end their other drought.Not that any of the current coaches and players put much stock into that history.Titans coach Mike Mularkey believes the only relevant statistic from his perspective is ending this skid.Id like to make another change, Mularkey said when asked about the losing streak.Mularkey is their fifth head coach since Pardees Oilers won 17-7 in San Diego. Pardee lost his next trip to San Diego, while Jeff Fisher -- now with the Los Angeles Rams -- lost all four of his visits including a wild-card playoff game in January 2008. Mike Munchaks squad was blown out 38-10 in 2012.Chargers coach Mike McCoy agrees with Mularkey -- the past has no impact on Sundays game.Every years different, McCoy said Wednesday. It doesnt matter if you play a team two weeks ago or this week, you have to go out and play your best week in and week out.The Titans hired a new general manager in January in Jon Robinson along with Mularkey, who took over Nov. 3 last season when Ken Whisenhunt was fired after a 1-6 start . Whisenhunt now is the Chargers offensive coordinator, while Robinson added 23 new players to the Tennessee roster going into this season.Linebacker Derrick Morgan this team is completely separate from all those other teams.Its a new team, new players, new coaches, Morgan said. Were trying to make our own identity.These Titans (4-4) have won three of their last four to top their win total from all of last season. One more win matches their victory total for the past two seasons combined, and they are one game back of division leader Houston in the AFC South.But they are visiting the Chargers (3-5) where they are 5-17-1 all-time and a quarterback in Phillip Rivers who has been their starter for the past 11 seasons. Defensive lineman Jurrell Casey blamed Rivers for dominating the Tennessee defense in the Titans last visit to San Diego.Mularkey is taking the Titans out to California on Friday, a day earlier than usual road games. Mularkey said he has traveled teams both on Friday and Saturday before a Sunday game to mixed success. This time, its just a change-up in the Titans routine. The Titans also will get the time change with clocks being set back an hour Sunday morning.As a native of Long Beach, California, Casey says he doesnt believe in changes in time zones having any effect on a team.You go out there, you get a days rest, you get up and you get to go play a game of football, Casey said. I dont really think the time zone or anything makes a difference.Game notes Titans RB DeMarco Murray (toe) was limited along with LB Aaron Wallace (shoulder). Mularkey said he doesnt think the toe will prevent Murray from playing Sunday. ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- About 37 hours after the end of the season opener, Derrick Walton was back on the court, ready for another tough game.Its early in the season, but Walton is already logging major minutes for Michigan.Walton had 13 points and six rebounds, and Michigan closed the first half strong en route to a 77-65 victory over IUPUI on Sunday. Walton played 36 minutes despite a left ankle he said was still a little stiff after he rolled it in Fridays season-opening win over Howard.Ive got supreme faith in coach (John Beilein). I know he wont push me over my limit, Walton said. We usually push the limit.Zak Irvin scored 15 points for the Wolverines (2-0), who scored the final 13 points of the first half to take a 43-32 lead. They held on to win comfortably despite 22 points from IUPUIs Darell Combs.Moe Wagner scored 13 points for Michigan and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman contributed 12.Matt OLeary scored 13 points for the Jaguars (0-2), and Kellon Thomas added 10. IUPUI had also played Friday, losing at Eastern Kentucky.Im proud of the boys, IUPUI coach Jason Gardner said. To have a one-day prep, really almost like a walkthrough, and guys to be locked in defensively, I thought that was a step as far as showing growth.Michigan trailed 32-30 before Abdur-Rahkman made a 3-pointer with 3:47 left in the first half. Baskets by Ibi Watson and Mark Donnal pushed the lead to five, and then Donnal added two free throws. Abdur-Rahkman and Irvin added baskets in the final minute to make it an 11-point game.BIG PICTUREIUPUI: The Jaguars could have used more scoring from players other than Combs if they were going to make a serious bid for an upset in this game. Against Eastern Kentucky, Combs scored 28 points and none of his teammates had more than 11.dddddddddddd. It was a similar story against Michigan.Michigan: The Wolverines are making things easy on themselves with their foul shooting. After going 23 of 26 from the line in the win over Howard, Michigan was 16 of 18 against IUPUI. It will be hard for the Wolverines to keep that up, but its certainly an encouraging development for them so far.TOUGH INSIDEMichigan backup D.J. Wilson finished with quite a line: seven points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in 30 minutes. Beilein is pleased with the versatility he provides on defense.D.J. Wilson is really changing the way we guard, where we can switch more because he can guard really five positions right now, Beilein said. Thats really going to help us.FOULSAlthough Michigan shot a terrific percentage from the line, the Wolverines had only 18 attempts. That was an improvement for IUPUI, which allowed 56 free-throw attempts against Eastern Kentucky.I think we reached too much on Friday, Gardner said. I think we were trying to be more mindful -- not reaching, not lunging.UP NEXTIUPUI: Sundays game was part of the 2K Classic, which benefits Wounded Warrior Project. The Jaguars host Howard on Friday as the event continues.Michigan: The Wolverines head to New York to play in a 2K Classic semifinal against Marquette on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.---For more college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
