As a wrestling coach he drives you crazy. He absolutely has the talent and skills. However, it sometimes takes him a little bit of a whooping’ before he really turns it on. He is fun to watch. He has the ability to run the table.

Crazy to know this guy stepped away from Wrestling due to concussions a few years ago, then came back last year and has been Wrestling on a whole another level this year! Amazing to see....

Let’s keep in mind, this is SAMMY SASSO. The wrestler who’s annoying as hell to take down, beat Pat Lugo, and most wrestlers can never take him down. Gomez just got 3 takedowns on that caliber of wrestler in 25 seconds

Wow this one of those moments in sports where an athlete discovers their potential and realizes it full force. We should all watch and pay attention this could be history, if not that then at least sparks of brilliance.

Flo wrestling needs to hire someone else for advertising because there’s absolutely no one in these stands, this could sell out an arena with the right person, imagine how much better this would have been if it was at Carver Hawkeye Arena and not in Texas

That was a great match.👍👍

Nice to see a flexible square stance (smoothly switched lead legs) take advantage of the extreme staggered stance favored by some.

Wow! Great match!

Great match between Go-Go Gomez and So-So Sasso.

Austin is turning into one of my favorite wrestlers, both him and Ridge Lovett (there’s a handful of others too)… They’re just fun to watch and I really like their styles! There’s too many wrestlers utilizing stalling these days imo. So I like when wrestlers aren’t afraid to attack and be offensive, especially with big moves. But I understand not every wrestler is suited for that and may not have that style… Some guys’ skill sets/abilities are more geared for defensive wrestling; however, there’s a big difference between defensive wrestling & stalling. Some guys (I won’t mention any names) absolutely have the ability, but as soon as they wrestle someone close to their ranking (or better), they break out the stalling and use it as an advantage, instead of opening up and actually wrestling. Sorry for the little rant, point is, I like these wrestlers who aren’t afraid to go for it and leave it all out there on the mat!

Great big ten match!

Austin Gomez coming different this year

Barely seemed fatigued after the match dam

Insane

Sasso would be awesome at submission grappling

Looks like Gomez found the Liver King diet this season

He beat both of my favorites collegiate wrestlers Yianni and now Sammy

What does Gomez mean when he points at his forearm at the end of the match?

gomez is ice coldddd

Andonian really changed gomez

gomez looking like hes having a revenge season

Lots of credit to Gomez... I wonder if Sasso having his head smashed into the mat in Period 2 had anything to do with his performance in the 3rd period.

Gomez owns SASSO ! Guys used to have problems with figuring out how to get in on Sammy,without getting tied up.If there watching this,they should see how.Gomez is a beast,he can score in so many positions! Watch out for Illinois guys this season, there's a great 👍 group out there!Was more impressed with the way he beat Yanni! Hes had Sammy's number!

Good officiating👍🏽

I think they should get rid of 1 pts for escapes that aren't from choosing bottom at the beginning of the period. No way you should score 2 takedowns on a person and all they need is 1 takedown to match your points.

Austin my King!

I want that mat in my house.

What happened to Sasso???

Sassy looked better there than against VT but is it his off season conditioning? Or what

Sasso never gets taken down....... then Gomez lands THREE in a row? That's what being in the zone looks like. And gomez lost this year to an unranked fresh.... wrestling is insane

I was pulling Sasso but great match. They'll see each other again this season!

Wait a minute!! Where are fans?

See these guys' walk outs? I know it's not WWE, but someone get these guys a Jolt Cola.
