I suppose the Stanford players could have been running to the student section, but from my view in the stands it seemed more like 5-6 of them went to jaw at the Cal players and the rest followed.  Two Cal players turned around and started to engage. It was about to turn into something until the coaches separated them.

I think you are correct. Before the game several of the Kal players were woofing (at a minimum) at the Stanford team, who did not respond (much). I expect there was some residual anger there. I don't recall the details but in a previous Big Game a player was ejected before the game even started for such conduct. This isn't a new problem. One would hope both teams would be getting ready to actually play the football game where they can demonstrate their superiority by actually playing football :-). Fortunately Kal elected not to do that.
