For The Fesslers and The Gillikins, it will be a conflicted weekend at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill.
Billy Fessler is the starting holder and a backup quarterback at Penn State, and Blake Gillikin is of course the Nittany Lions' first-team punter and maybe the best specialist in the Big Ten.
At Northwestern, Billy's brother Charlie is a backup receiver and special teamer, and Blake's brother Tyler is the starting long snapper and was the program's special teamer of the week in last Saturday's loss at Wisconsin.
Mrs. Gillikin will wear a jersey sewed together that features the Wildcats on one side and the Nittany Lions on the other, PSU coach James Franklin said, while the Fesslers will have one too and are expecting about 40 friends and family to be on hand for the tilt.
