— -- TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Suspended  Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston came out in full pads and participated in warm-ups Saturday night for before going back to the locker room and changing into street clothes.

The Heisman Trophy winner was suspended for the game against No. 22  Clemson after making "offensive and vulgar" comments about female anatomy earlier this week. The initial punishment was Winston to sit out the first half, but interim university president Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox announced the new suspension late Friday night.

Winston came out of the tunnel with the other quarterbacks and took snaps under center like normal. Shortly after he spoke with coach Jimbo Fisher and went back into the locker room. Winston later reappeared wearing his jersey without pads, a ball cap and pants.

The suspension came after several students tweeted Winston stood on campus and shouted an obscene phrase that may have derived from an Internet meme.

Sean Maguire started for Florida State. Sources told ESPN's Heather Cox that Winston will be on the sideline "most importantly to help Sean Maguire."

Winston originally had been suspended for just the first half after a profane and sexually explicit outburst in the student union on campus earlier this week. But Florida State decided to extend his suspension to the entire game because Winston was not entirely truthful or forthcoming regarding Tuesday's incident, a source told ESPN.

ESPN's Tom Rinaldi and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
