The 1985 Cherry Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game between the Atlantic Coast Conference's Maryland Terrapins and the Big East Conference's Syracuse Orangemen. After having an early 10–6 lead, The Orangemen gave up 22 unanswered second-quarter points, following which a comeback was too far out of reach for the Orangemen and the Terps won by a final score of 35–18.

Although this was only the second edition, following this game the bowl had to fold because the Cherry Bowl committee found themselves over $2,000,000 in the red bringing an end to postseason college football in Detroit until 1997 when the Motor City Bowl launched and the MAC Championship Game was first played on a neutral site.
