The Flashes also have a talented receiving corps that has seven players over 100 yards receiving, but Keith's main two targets have been Tyshon Goode and Jameson Konz.
Goode, a freshman, leads all KSU receivers with 553 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
Konz, a senior, is second in receiving yards with 242 and tied for second in touchdowns with two.
The Zips will counter the Flash receiving corps with senior Andre Jones.
Jones is third on team with 297 receiving yards and two touchdowns - both coming in the last two weeks.
Jones was the recipient of an 80-yard touchdown pass Oct. 31 from running back Alex Allen - the Zips only touchdown against NIU.
"After the amazing 80-yard touchdown pass by Alex Allen, we took a 10-6 lead but missed opportunities down the stretch to increase the lead," Brookhart said.
Freshman Patrick Nicely will get the start at quarterback for the Zips in the Wagon Wheel game.
On the season, Nicely has completed 53 of 109 passes for 613 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
"Patrick has a great talent level for a young quarterback," Brookhart said. "He has to take advantage of the coaching he is given to become not just a talented quarterback, but a great college quarterback.
"It is very hard for a freshman quarterback to play against the multiple schemes we see each week, but he is doing better each week. He is a touch kid that is willing to stand in the pocket in order to make the throw. So far he has been very impressive."
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Anyone happen to know what the current attendance record is for Infocision Stadium? It appears that the current online schedule for the Zips doesn't currently post same. (Continued…)

Expected and not bad at all but what about the subsequent games?
Perhaps that 'radical-Roo' athletic booster group, you know, the one that pulled the coup-d'etat at Dix Stadium, will put their stamp on Infocision during this game. (Continued…)
