Carolina fielded its first football team on Christmas Eve, in Charleston, SC, in 1892 versus Furman.
Georgia's football program began in 1892, when Dr. Charles Herty, a chemistry professor and former player at Johns Hopkins, assembled a team and arranged a game against Mercer University on January 30, 1892.
Unless South Carolina was practicing for well over a year I don't think they started before Georgia. Both quotes came from Wiki.
