Where would you guys rank Dalton's performance against Baylor all-time? I started following closely starting in 2013 when Soza took the team 99 against UNM to start the season, which I rank as the 3rd best performance I've seen. Interested in hearing what you old timers think. My ranking
#1 Eric Soza @ UNT 2013. This put UTSA on the map for me. Eric made every clutch throw and there was an auroa about him that he would not let the team lose. For a stupid technicality, that was the first bowl team at UTSA.
#2 Dalton @ Baylor: No secret Frank Wilson is an LSU/Alabama type coach that places a premium on defense and ball control where QBs are viewed more as game managers. In that system, Dalton shined making all the necessary plays with his arm and legs to win a big game on the road. He actually showed the poise and control Soza used to show regularly. 75% completion rate, 250 total yards, 2 tds and 0 turnovers. Great day at the office.
#3 Soza @ UNM: I remember going into the 2013 season; I had good expectations for the Roadrunners. The game against UNM was a good barometer to see how far the program had progressed. What a game, and signature win at the time. Our QB took the team 99yards for the game winner. Arguably this game should rank higher, but we weren't as big an underdog as we were against Baylor and UNT.
#4 Dalton vs Arizona St: Dalton is the most physically gifted QB ever to suit up for UTSA and it was on full display against ASU. He was the best player on the field for about 3 qtrs and then oddly the coaches decided to shut it down and go uber conservative. Cost us the game, imo, so the loss ranks this as the 4th best QB performance. If UTSA held on, which they should have, this would have easily ranked #1.
#5 Bogie @ Arizona: Again, expectations for the team were high and UTSA was a big underdog. Besides the pick 6 to start the game, Bogie put on a passing display and broke the yardage record for the school. Again, a win here elevates this performance much higher.
Honorable mention: Tucker Carter's performance against UNT to close out an otherwise horrible season.
