Mourouzis to coach U.S. team at Aztec Bowl

Former DePauw University football coach Nick Mourouzis, who retired in 2003, will join current senior defensive end Dustin Hertel on the sidelines for the United States team when it faces the Mexican National team in the Aztec Bowl on Dec. 16.

Mourouzis is DePauw's all-time leading football coach in victories.

The Aztec Bowl features Division III players against Mexico's All-Stars. The game will be played in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The game has been played 35 times since 1947 with the last nine contests featuring the United States-Mexico matchup. The U.S. leads the series, 8-1.
