Yes.  Just make sure the roots are upright and the grass underneath.

The grass will die back eventually although it will take a bit of work with the hoe. I find I get lots of grasses in my garden every year even though I hoe a lot during the growing season there are always seed that get a chance to mature. I think that in the fullness of time the weeds that tend to cause most problems are things like dandelions and other wind bourn seeds . The hoe is the secret though every gardener knows that keep it moving and the weeds will be gone :)

Stack the clods upside down in a neat cube, out of your way. Cover with a sheet and in 12 months they'll be rotted out to a good soil and ready to dig back in.
