We consider homogeneous linear recurring sequences over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, based on an irreducible characteristic polynomial of degree $n$ and order $m$. Let $t=(q^{n}-1)/ m$. We use quadratic forms over finite fields to give the exact number of occurrences of zeros of the sequence within its least period when $t$ has q-adic weight 2. Consequently we prove that the cardinality of the set of zeros for sequences from this category is equal to two.
