The 1985 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1985 NCAA Division I-A football season as an independent. The team was led by head coach Jim Young, in his third year, and played their home games at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York. They finished the season with a record of nine wins and three losses (9–3 overall), and with a victory against Illinois in the Peach Bowl. Starting off with wins in each of their first five games, the Cadets were ranked by the AP Poll at 19th prior to the game against Notre Dame. It was the first time Army was ranked in 23 years; Army would not be ranked in an AP Poll again until 1996.[1] The Cadets offense scored 396 points, while the defense allowed 232 points.
