A week to the day ago, Walter Clayton Jr. had one of those nights anyone would want to forget.
A week later, it went a little better.
Clayton sparked the rout with 12 first-half points as the Gators made it three and a row over the hated ‘Noles – and two in a row for Todd Golden – with an 89-68 win that was over before the first 20 minutes expired.

Clayton led Florida with 19 points before fouling out with 1:47 to play.
Here are the five key takeaways from the Gators’ beatdown of the Seminoles.
