After disappointing end to 2017, Nate Brooks and UNT look to bounce back

DENTON — Looking at the proverbial glass as half-full, the 2017 season was overwhelmingly positive for North Texas.

In year two under head coach Seth Littrell, the Mean Green played for their first conference title in Conference USA and went to a second consecutive bowl game. UNT, which finished 9-5, also had a chance for only the second 10-win season in school history.

However, looking at the flipside, the Mean Green finished the season 0-2 with blowout losses at Florida Atlantic in the C-USA Championship Game (41-17) and to Troy in the New Orleans Bowl (50-30).

And even several months later, the sting from those losses remains painful for Whitehouse product Nate Brooks, now a senior defensive back, and his teammates.

“Of course, we ended the year 0-2, didn’t accomplish our mission, so that’s still driving us today in our workouts and these practices. Just losing those two games and not accomplishing what we wanted to accomplish (still hurts),” Brooks said.
