Two tombstones added to Clemson’s graveyard

To commemorate its victories over No. 10 North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game and No. 4 Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff from this past season, Clemson officially added two new tombstones to its football graveyard on Wednesday.

“It’s really just a tradition that is kind of neat to participate in,” head coach Dabo Swinney said after the ceremony.

This is the second straight year the Sooners have fallen victim to the Tigers in a tombstone game. Clemson beat the Sooners, 37-21, in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Eve this past season. They Tigers also beat them 40-6 in the Russell Athletic Bowl to end the 2014 season.
