Dunning has been playing in a reserve role this season, while Harris has caught nine passes for 55 yards.

The Cyclones also lost their top receiver, Quenton Bundrage, for the season with a torn ACL earlier this month.

Iowa State, which is 1-2 with a win over Iowa and losses to North Dakota State and Kansas State, hosts Baylor (3-0) in both teams' Big 12 opener next Saturday, Sept. 27.
