With the rise of Jamaal Williams, there might seem to be a logjam in the Cougar backfield, but Alisa feels that won’t be the case. http://byu.scout.com/2/1271887.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1271887.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:22:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu Game planning and scheming is essential to the success of a football team, and whether a team wins or loses, there is plenty to draw upon heading into the next competition. The Cougars look to take the experiences they’ve had and apply them in a short week of preparation for Boise State. http://byu.scout.com/2/1222834.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1222834.html Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:02:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu BYU’s performance against Washington State revealed both the good and the bad, as every first game has a tendency to do. It’s a chance to recognize those areas that need a little extra work and clean them up, and that's what the Cougars are aiming to do when they play Weber State. http://byu.scout.com/2/1218963.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1218963.html Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu When a high level of responsibility is placed on one’s shoulders, chances are it’s going to affect their inner psyche. Pressure begins to mount with the added stress, leaving room for subtle doubt to creep into one’s soul. http://byu.scout.com/2/1209177.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1209177.html Tue, 07 Aug 2012 07:54:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu You’ve read about him in spring camp articles and seen his pictures in Cougar Snapshots. Now you can watch Cougar running back Michael Alisa in action running through drills and talking about his spring performance and in this latest video by Total Blue Sports. http://byu.scout.com/2/1170054.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1170054.html Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:24:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu With the loss of running backs J.J. Di Luigi and Bryan Kariya, others such as Michael Alisa will have to shoulder the load. That means more than just simply running the ball, but also being able to pick up and do what the former backs did so well within the offense. http://byu.scout.com/2/1165004.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1165004.html Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:53:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu The emergence of running back Michael Alisa has been one of the biggest surprises of the Cougar offense this season, if not the biggest. The sophomore has juked, overpowered and outran opponents the past few games, so much so that talk of a dismal run offense and underachieving offensive line are things of the past. Alisa’s quick rise to rushing stardom began one night on his a mission. http://byu.scout.com/2/1119333.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1119333.html Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:25:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu This past offseason, anyone attending BYU’s practices may have noticed a running back that looked oddly familiar. This author in particular couldn’t help but notice that Michael Alisa, at 6 feet 1 inch and 215 pounds, looked quite similar – even if not quite as big – to the 6-foot, 237-pound Harvey Unga, BYU’s all-time leading rusher. And the similarities didn’t end there. http://byu.scout.com/2/1116694.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/1116694.html Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:40:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu As a true freshman in 2008, Alisa played in 12 games as a linebacker and special teams member. After the season, he then left to serve a mission in Puerto Rico. Having returned from his mission, Alisa is now on the other side of the line of scrimmage as a ball-carrier instead of a ball-hawking tackler. http://byu.scout.com/2/1056227.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1056227.html Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:07:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu This fall outside linebacker coach Barry Lamb is looking at different options at both outside linebacker spots. Due to some unforeseen injuries, among other factors, Coach Lamb is working to put his best options on the field. The bright spot in all this is the play of true freshman Michael Alisa. http://byu.scout.com/2/775837.html 2047 Brandon Gurney http://byu.scout.com/2/775837.html Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:33:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu SEATTLE - The Scout.com Northwest Hot 100 can now be put to bed for the class of 2008. Spanning five states and one province, there are 27 schools represented, from BCS conferences all the way down to NAIA Division-1.
