Their way of celebrating beating a Top 10 team I suppose. I've been to Clemson several times but have never seen this kind of thing. I wonder what part of campus this is on?

Clemson is known as Death Valley. So, I guess having tombstones of its victims sort of makes sense.

Except that game wasn't played in Death Valley. I assume Clemson has beaten several Top 10 teams in Death Valley but I was never aware they might have a celebratory cemetery that I assume would be near the stadium
