If your father wasn't an only child of an only child of an only child etc etc and you're able to link every single one of your matches to your maternal side, then it suggests that no descendants of anyone on your paternal side have tested WITH ANCESTRY. They may have tested with other companies so I'd definitely recommend that you upload your own results to FTDNA and GEDMatch (both free) where you might have more luck.
But surely you have more than 92 matches? I suspect you are quoting the number of 4th cousins or closer. I have 71 of these and for the majority of them I'm unable to find the link, despite the past 20 years or so having been spent working my tree back to 5 or more generations on virtually all lines, with several generations more on many lines. We are all dependent on other people's trees accurately reflecting a similar number of generations. If all they have is their parents and grandparents, then unless you have worked all of your lines forwards through all the married daughters you're unlikely to find a matching surname.
As more and more people test you will get new matches and eventually some of them are likely to match your father's side (unless he was an only child etc etc).
