Oregon lineman Andre Yruretagoyena issued an apology on Twitter tonight for the actions of a small number of his unidentified teammates -- along with other students -- in the aftermath of Friday's football players versus students snowball fight on campus, which started out as a fun event but evidently later got out of hand.

In the video below, obtained by the Daily Emerald, dozens of people, including members of the football team as Yruretagoyena indicates, block a car driving through campus and begin pelting it with snowballs. As the driver opens his door, one person throws a tub of snow into the vehicle and into the driver's face. As the man walks toward the students he is again pelted with multiple snowballs.

UPDATE, 10:45 p.m.:

The university's dean of students, Paul Shang, has released a

in the incident, saying "it would be premature to speculate about any potential outcomes in this case."

The full statement reads:

"The University of Oregon Police Department is investigating an incident, captured on video, in which a passing vehicle was the target of snowballs thrown by young people in an area on the UO campus. Police hope to determine the identities of those who were throwing snowballs, whether they are UO students and whether their actions constitute a criminal act.

"The University of Oregon takes the conduct of its students seriously. Consequences are clear for those whose actions reflect poorly upon the university or violate its standards for student behavior. However, until the facts of the snowball-throwing incident are sorted out, it would be premature to speculate about any potential outcomes in this case."
