RENTON, Wash. - Will Tukuafu wont admit to having a favourite position. Just whichever one gets him on the field.When the Seattle Seahawks signed Tukuafu at midseason, it was for the sole purpose of being a fullback. Even though he had a history of playing on the defensive line, both in college and in his first NFL stop at San Francisco, the Seahawks were in need of a lead blocker for Marshawn Lynch.Because of injuries, Tukuafus ability to play both sides of the ball has turned out to be a value.Hes just an athlete, Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett said. Hes been able to play fullback, play defensive end, whatever we need him to play. I think hes doing a good job for us. You see him come in and some of the holes hes opened up for Marshawn is amazing and the things he does on defence is amazing, too.Tukuafu signed with Seattle in late October after starting fullback Derrick Coleman was lost for the season to a broken foot suffered in pregame warmups before the Seahawks loss at St. Louis. Tukuafu had been working out in Oregon and made the drive up Interstate 5 to join the Seahawks.At the time, the discussions were strictly about what he could provide as a fullback.I just come in and work every day and whatever they ask me to do I try and do to the best of my ability, Tukuafu said. Whether offence, defence, special teams or if its just offence or whatever, its just going out here and doing my best.Tukuafu entered the NFL as a defensive lineman. Through the 2011 and 2012 seasons with the 49ers, Tukuafu appeared in 18 regular-season games on the defensive line.But late in the 2012 season, Tukuafu started to go in as a fullback in goal-line and short-yardage situations.Came in one day and they switched my number to 48 and was a fullback from then on, Tukuafu said. Fullback and (defensive) line but more so fullback.Tukuafu appeared in only five games last season for San Francisco — three of those coming in the playoffs — and the Seahawks were more than happy to pick him up when the need arose for a fullback.His defensive line experience eventually came in handy. When the Seahawks went to Kansas City in Week 11, they had just lost defensive tackle Brandon Mebane for the season to a hamstring injury. They needed an additional body to try to stop the run and Tukuafu became the option.He played four defensive snaps against the Chiefs; had another four against San Francisco in Week 15; played six snaps at Arizona in Week 16; and was in for three defensive plays against St. Louis in the season finale.But most of his time has been on the offensive side as Lynchs lead blocker and part of a Seattle run game that finished the year as the best in the NFL, averaging more than 172 yards per game.Its easy when you have a guy like Marshawn back there, Tukuafu said. Him and (Russell Wilson) and (Robert Turbin) ... you have guys like that and the (offensive) line that we have I wouldnt expect anything less.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey .

ATHENS, Ga. -- Two out of three aint bad. Georgia is certainly not complaining. Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes, including a 25-yarder to Justin Scott-Wesley with 1:47 remaining, and the No. 9 Bulldogs rallied to beat No. 6 LSU 44-41 in a thrilling game between Southeastern Conference powerhouses Saturday. The Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0 SEC) completed their opening-month run through a gauntlet of top teams with a victory that propelled them back into the thick of the national championship race. "Weve played some hard teams," Scott-Wesley said. "It just shows were a great team. We can handle anything anybody throws at us." Georgia was only the fourth team since the BCS began in 1998 to face three top 10 teams in the first four games of a season. The Bulldogs opened with a 38-35 non-conference loss to Clemson, but came back to beat South Carolina 41-30 and now the Tigers. "Weve grown up a lot this past month," Murray said. "I think everyone in the nation knows what Georgia football is about now. Were a tough group of guys. Were fighters." About 10 minutes after the game, the team ran back on the field to celebrate with their fans along the famed hedges at Sanford Stadium. Coach Mark Richt gave his wife a big kiss and hug. "Im just honoured to be a part of something like that," Richt said. Now, the Bulldogs are well-positioned to make a run for their third straight SEC East title and trip to the conference championship game. "Were definitely happy," Murray said. "If had to lose one of these games, obviously Clemson was the one, just because theyre in the ACC. Not saying we wanted to lose. Dont get me wrong. But this is huge." LSU (4-1, 1-1) got a career-best 372 yards passing from former Georgia quarterback Zach Mettenberger in his return to Athens, and the Tigers went ahead 41-37 on Jeremy Hills 8-yard touchdown run with 4:14 to go. But that was plenty of time for Murray and the high-powered Bulldogs on a day when neither defence had much success. He completed three straight passes to quickly move the Bulldogs into LSU territory, and freshman J.J. Green broke off an 18-yard run to the Tigers 25. Then it was Scott-Wesley, breaking wide open behind the secondary to haul in a pass and tiptoe just inside the pylon for the winning score. "We have a long road ahead of us to get back to the top," Mettenberger said. "We have to win out." Murray ran for Georgias other touchdown on a sneak and finished with 298 yards passing. "We all know your quarterback has to playy well to win a game like this," Richt said.dddddddddddd"Aaron was phenomenal, gutsy, tremendous." Murray and Mettenberger were in the same recruiting class at Georgia, contending for the starting job in the spring of 2010. Mettenberger, a native of nearby Watkinsville, grew up cheering for the Bulldogs and dreaming of the day he could wear the red and black. But his actions off the field cost him his chance. Mettenberger pleaded guilty to misdemeanour sexual battery charges after an incident in a bar and was kicked off the team. But his ties to Georgia run deep -- most notably, his mother, Tammy, still works in football operations for the Bulldogs. Richt gave her the week off because of all the attention surrounding her son. The former teammates did all that could be expected of them. Mettenberger had three touchdowns on 23-of-37 passing, continually burning the Bulldogs on third down. He completed a 25-yard pass on Odell Beckham on third-and-22 to improbably extend an LSU drive that led to Hills go-ahead touchdown. But Murray delivered the final blow. "They are both great players," Richt said. "It was incredible how well they played." Georgia did plenty of damage on the ground in the first half, but star running back Todd Gurley sustained an apparent left ankle injury on a 25-yard run. He didnt return, watching the second half while wearing a windbreaker and walking boot. Richt wasnt sure how long hell be out. The Bulldogs werent nearly as effective on the ground with Keith Marshall handling the load, but Murray and his receivers took up the slack. Chris Conley had five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown. Michael Bennett hauled in a pair of scoring passes. Georgia finished with 494 yards, though the bulk of those came in a back-and-forth first half that ended with Georgia on top 24-17. Little-used Kadron Boone had two early touchdown catches for LSU, but Jarvis Landry turned out to be Mettenbergers go-to receiver. The junior had 10 catches for 156 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown that tied the game at 27 late in the third quarter. Georgias schedule gets easier the rest of the way, with only one more regular-season game against a team currently in the Top 25 -- injury-plagued Florida. LSU has a much tougher road, with games still remaining against top-ranked Alabama and No. 10 Texas A&M. "We have a good football team and we have everything in front of us," Tiger coach Les Miles said. "When you play a quality team on the road, you can learn what needs to be corrected." ' ' '
