Just when you thought the start to Iowa State's 2014 season couldn't get any worse, it has.

Paul Rhoads announced Monday that wide receiver Quenton Bundrage will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in his right knee during the Cyclones' season-opening loss to North Dakota State. 

This is a huge blow for Iowa State, as Bundrage was Iowa State's most potent weapon on offense coming into the season. He led the team with 46 receptions for 676 yards and nine touchdowns in 2013, and without him Iowa State will have to turn to true freshman Allen Lazard and transfer D'Vario Montgomery to lead the receiver corps.
