Queensland Reds are poised to complete the signing of returning Wallabies five-eighth Quade Cooper after locking in Nick Stiles as their new head coach.Cooper last week endorsed Stiles, his former mentor with Brisbane City in the National Rugby Championship, as his preferred selection as Reds boss as he prepares for a Super Rugby return.The mercurial 28-year-old has signed a heads of agreement with the Australian Rugby Union after leaving Toulon earlier this month, allowing him to become immediately eligible for the Wallabies, but he is yet to commit to a franchise.However, Stiles appointment makes it all but a foregone conclusion that Cooper will be back at Ballymore in 2017.Ive got a good relationship with Quade. Hes a Queensland Red, hes passionate about the place and hopefully we can get that sorted moving forward, Stiles told reporters on Tuesday.Cooper, who was also being courted by the Melbourne Rebels, is currently training with the Wallabies in Sydney and remains in regular contact with the Queensland Rugby Union, according to executive general manager Daniel Herbert.Hed really round out our team list very well for 2017 if he did (come back), Herbert said.However, Cooper is likely to be the Reds final major signing for next year, with Herbert ruling them out of any moves for Will Genia or Digby Ioane - the latter who is reportedly set to join the Crusaders.You never say never, guys whove done for this place what theyve done, youll always consider if they approach you and if there was a way to make it work, he said.But its not about rewinding the clock, we have to move forward.Preston Smith Super Bowl Jersey .

Instead, Alabama clinched the division.Auburn was held to 32 yards with no first downs in the second half, and 164 yards overall.The offense didnt get it done today. Its a simple as that, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who said he stuck with struggling quarterback Sean White because Sean is our guy.Georgia held the ball about 39 minutes, almost doubling Auburns time of possession.The Tigers couldnt overcome the loss of star running back Kamryn Pettway , the nations No. 4 rusher who hurt his left leg on a long run in last weeks win over Vanderbilt. Pettway was with the team but not in uniform.This is the SEC. People get hurt, said Kerryon Johnson, who filled in for Pettway. Thats no excuse for us to not have a productive day. We just got outplayed.Malzahn said an undisclosed injury prevented White from throwing in practice for the second straight week.White couldnt find a passing game to complement Johnsons 99 yards rushing, including a 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. White completed only 6 of 20 passes for 27 yards with an interception.Georgia (6-4, 4-4) earned its biggest win under first-year coach Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs controlled the clock on two fourth-quarter field goal drives of 13 and 14 plays.We told ourselves a few weeks ago we were going to run the ball and we were going to be successful, said Georgia running back Nick Chubb, who had 23 carries for 101 yards.Jacob Eason completed 20 of 31 passes for 208 yards without an interception.After Blankenships 21-yard field goal with 2:25 remaining, Auburn was stopped on four downs, triggerinng a celebration in the stands and on Georgias sideline.ddddddddddddBlankenship, the Georgia walk-on kicker who wears black-rimmed glasses under his helmet, barely cleared the cross bar on his 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 10-7 lead. Blankenship was short on a 49-yard attempt about three minutes later before kicking a 21-yarder late in the game.Auburn had only 25 yards passing in the first half and opened the second half with three straight passing plays -- two incompletions and a third-down pass intercepted by Smith and returned 34 yards for a tying touchdown.He looked like a receiver on the play, Smart said.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers likely will be headed for a sharp drop in the Top 25. The inability to compensate for Pettways injury revealed Auburns lack of offensive balance and inability to retain its spot as a championship or playoff contender.HAPPY RETURNAuburn strong safety Tray Matthews, who began his career at Georgia before he was dismissed from the team in 2014, delivered the key defensive play of the first half. Matthews picked off a pass from receiver Terry Godwin, who took the snap in the wildcat formation, in the end zone for his first interception of the season.Auburn took advantage of the turnover with an 80-play touchdown drive capped by Johnsons 3-yard scoring run.FAMILIAR RIVALSmith transferred to Georgia from Alabama, Auburns top rival.The team I am with right now, we have been counted out, and for us to get this win is big, Smith said. This makes it definitely worthwhile. Its a blessing. For me to be part of this team and be able to help the team, I just love it.UP NEXTAuburn: The Tigers will play their final home game against Alabama A&M next Saturday as they hope to gain momentum for their Nov. 26 game at Alabama.Georgia: Georgia hosts Louisiana Lafayette next Saturday before closing its season with another home game against in-state rival Georgia Tech on Nov. 26.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
