Top storylines for the game

  • Clemson’s 2022 College Football Playoff résumé got a big boost in September. With back-to-back wins over No. 21 Wake Forest and No. 10 N.C. State to end the month, the Tigers are now one of only four teams in the country with two AP Top 25 wins (Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech). As of now, ESPN writers and advanced metrics both like Clemson’s chances to nab the CFP’s No. 4 spot over Michigan, USC and Utah.

  • Two Clemson players will remain with the program after being named in a civil lawsuit Wednesday, per coach Dabo Swinney. The lawsuit filed on behalf of a U.S. Postal Service worker accused defensive backs Fred Davis II and Malcolm Greene of “racing their vehicles” prior to Davis’ car colliding with the worker’s vehicle in July 2021 and causing her “serious, severe, and permanent injuries,” per the suit.

  • Working off a five-game sample size, Clemson made a few significant updates to its offensive depth chart released this week. Sophomore Beaux Collins (232 yards, four touchdowns) is a standalone starter at outside receiver, and freshman Antonio Williams (229 yards, one touchdown) is a standalone starter at slot receiver. They were previously co-starters at those spots with E.J. Williams and Brannon Spector, respectively.

  • Swinney’s already announced that defensive tackle Bryan Bresee won’t play against Boston College as he recovers from a non-football medical issue. Injury-wise, the most prominent players uncertain for Saturday are defensive end Xavier Thomas (foot), cornerback Sheridan Jones (shoulder/neck stinger), safety R.J. Mickens (undisclosed) and defensive back Greene (undisclosed). Thomas is yet to play this season.

Clemson vs. NC State players to watch

  • Clemson WR Joseph Ngata: The senior’s been good for a big play in every game after a slow start against Georgia Tech. Ngata hasn’t scored yet for Clemson, but he’s quietly third on the team in catches (13) and receiving yards (208) — and he’s staying healthy.

  • Clemson S Sherrod Covil Jr.: The hard-hitting true freshman played a career-high 33 snaps against N.C. State as Clemson dealt with various injuries in the secondary. With three players in that group once again questionable, Covil could be called on again.

  • Boston College WR Zay Flowers: Swinney described the 5-foot-10 Flowers as one of the best receivers in the country and best players in the country period. Flowers had touchdown catches of 57 and 69 yards last week, and he’s averaging a career-high 96.2 receiving yards per game this season.

  • Boston College QB Phil Jurkovec: Jurkovec (6-5, 214 pounds) is a big-bodied veteran quarterback in his third year with Boston College. He’s been a little erratic with six interceptions but always adds value as a runner and is coming off his best game of the year against Louisville (18-21, 304 yards and three touchdowns in a win).

  • EU hydrogen plans must be supported by subsidies, regulations- energy execs say

    European governments will need to offer energy companies subsidies and regulatory support to produce renewable hydrogen to make the transition to clean fuels from fossil fuels, senior energy executives said on Wednesday. Executives from firms including Norway's Equinor and Germany's Uniper said at the Europe Flame Gas and LNG Conference in Amsterdam that without government support it will be hard for companies to fully take on the mission to produce hydrogen, which is four-to-ten times more expensive than natural gas. The European Union aims to produce 10 million metric tons and import 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030 as the bloc moves to cut carbon emissions.

  • Boeing, Spirit Aerosystems deal could be turnaround it needs

    Boeing's (BA) issues continue to mount as the aerospace manufacturer grapples with shrinking orders, a growing backlog of orders it needs to fulfill, and more, according to its first-quarter earnings report. In the wake of the mid-air incident in January that sparked multiple investigations into Boeing's 737 Max jetliner by federal regulators, the company faces a PR setback from consumers and travelers unsure whether to trust its aircraft. Stifel Senior Research Analyst Bert Subin joins The Morning Brief to discuss Boeing's potential deal with Spirit Aerosystems (SPR) and how that can potentially turn things around for Boeing. "The reality is Boeing's number one issue has been sort of getting its arms around quality and a supply chain, and Spirit is a huge part of that. And there have been quality lapses in recent years," Subin tells Yahoo Finance. "And so by acquiring Spirit, you can better integrate... vertically the supply chain and give the customers and the regulators greater confidence that you're going to produce the highest quality product every time. And so from that perspective, I think it's really important for reputation and for showing an actionable step toward improving the business."
